    Permanent white skin BUT
    I have read a lot about mequinol and monobenzone and I have seen results of people who had good results. I know it is severe treatment but it get results, I know that monbenzene give patches before it disspigmented totally where as mequinol does not give patches but can be very slow, I saw a picture of a guy that took him 4yres but he look so nice.. These cream can be applied all over the body not necessary every spot in your body, because the skin will disspigment itself. There are few things to consider about these treatments, so if you are like me looking for that thing will work I think I found the answer BUT

    [LIST][*]This chemicals are very strong,it might does harm to the body[*]With the stronger cream, it might give patches for few months[*]Treatment is not instant, it might take years[*]There are no way back, once you start you have to continue the whole course
    • There are not a lot of information about it,some people who get the results never come back to share their experience (if it is bad, you will defiantly hear about it)
    • The treatment can be costly
    • Your skin once depgmented, it will never tan, only get red so you have high maintains
    • You need prescription and avoid scam sites which
    provide fake drugs

    The good news

    • You get fair skin
    • It is permanent
    • Bleaching products are banned but this is medical treatment offered to
    patients with skin disease but it might be harder to work on healthy skin

    Any thoughts? Iam just looking for answers before I start a long journey.

    Hello sara_uk. You are right that Benoquin (monobenzone) is quite strong; however, I have lady friends in Canada who swear by the product, and suggested I use it. Currently, during the winter months, I use natural lemon and sugar to exfoliate and lighten my skin, but the results have to be maintained. With Benoquin, the results are permanent but worth it, if you follow a steady topical regimen--and stop using Benoquin when you reach your desired shade. I just recently purchased the cream when I was in Canada, and am eager to get started using it. As far as the Glutathione tablets (for skin whitening) supplement this with an equal dose of vitamin C since vitamin C prevents Glutathione from oxidizing (breaking down). The recommended dose of Glutathione is anywhere from 500-1500mg, depending on your weight. As an aside, Glutathione is a protein that is also produced naturally by our bodies to help prevent degradation at the cellular level (cell destruction). Unfortunately, as we age, our production of Glutathione decreases.. . Visit www.Wikipedia.com for information on glutathione. I would not recommend purchasing glutathione preparations from the web; many of those concoctions contain ingredients that, when taken in large doses, ex: Vitamin A and Vitamin E, can prove toxic! Even fatal. Visit a reputable vitamin store in your area, and purchase REDUCED glutathione and take it in combination with an equal dose of vitamin C--this is, of course, in accordance with your weight, so you have to do the math. Research the recommended dosage for normal cell maintenance, and then double that dose per 100 pounds of weight (if you use the metric system you will have to calculate in kilograms). The standard recommendations are from 500mg-to 1500mg to see skin whitening results. Of course, they don't tell you on these: by-our-pills websites that you also have to use a skin lightening topical solution in conjunction with this oral treatment--you don't see results when used alone... go figure. Glutathione is also most effective when taken with Alpha Lipoic Acid--again visit www.Wikipedia.com keyword Alpha Lipoic Acid to learn more about this--the research will give you the opportunity to consider if the "pill"(s) option is the best and necessary option for you--I would say skip it, but it's entirely up to you. After using Benoquin for a short time, I think you will like the results (my two associates have nice, fair complexions) although I, personally, prefer a healthy tanned color--not brown, not pale. Here is where you can buy legitimate Benoquin (monobenzone) cream www.CanadaDrugs.com type in the search field Benoquin (monobenzone),and you can purchase from there. Note: Benoquin (monobenzone) is sold over the counter legally in Canada, unlike the United States. Take care, and safe lightening. P.S.---stay away from ALL products containing Hydroquinone. And use Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch sunblock SPF 55 when exposed to the sun.

    Actually, Canadadrugs.com does not sell it anymore. It is getting increasingly harder and harder to find it even in Canada.

    I am also looking for something permanent. I saw the guy who used Mequinol for 4 years but the forum was deleted? So I came here. I am seriously looking for something that is really going to be permanent but I am not desperate, I know technology will develop something safe for our needs if we are patient.

    BQ is dangerous and permanently damages your skin with no recovery possible. Obviously it's banned. Whitening treatments are to maje your skin lighter and fresh not make you look like white china.

    It's not because it's actually dangerous to everyone who uses it that it's "banned." It's political. In England the NHS banned it because they don't want people to be able to turn themselves white "like Michael Jackson." They don't want "Michael Jackson-like whitening products" to be "at the taxpayers' expense."

    It's not safety that government agents are concerned with. It's political. They don't want a whole lot of dark people becoming white "like Mike" and having the drugs that make it so, easily or affordably obtainable.

    I heard a comment along the lines of "you have to have Michael Jackson's money to do what he did."

    That's politics for you. The government doesn't actually care about safety for everyone. I used to work for them, I know that for a fact!

    Benoquin is being banned everywhere because the governments know very dark black people have begun using it just to lighten up their skin color, and who is in control of most governments - white people. And in African and other tropical countries the government is already black people and would be offended if the people they govern start looking whiter than them! So that's why it's banned everywhere now, but people are still buying the raw material and mixing it up. Why don't you try Benzylarbutin, it's the chemical that is most similar to Monobenzone (Benoquin) in the world! They sound the same because Benoquin is monoBENZLether of hydroquinone, and Benzylarbutin is monobenzylether of arbutin. I have lightened several, several shades in a few months on Benzylarbutin, and it's not patchy like Benoquin. That's why I truly think Benzylarbutin is the next best thing to Benoquin--- or better!
    PS: There's pics of indian girls and a mixed guy who achieved a whitish color from Benzyl at DEPIG.forumup.com!!

    I think the cream itself is "American" because it is manufactured by a California based company.

    How long is it supposed to take to see results from Benzylarbutin? Is it slower than Monobenzone's results?
    I am willing to have patience and wait a few months for results if it is going to be a dramatic change eventually!
